Graffiti Moon by Cath Crawley

‘We’ve got at least seven hours to get what we want before the sun comes up.’ School is over, and Lucy has the perfect way to celebrate: tonight she’s going to find Shadow, the mysterious graffiti artist whose work appears all over the city.

Somewhere in the glassy darkness, he’s out there, spraying colour, birds and blue sky on the night. And Lucy knows that a guy who paints like Shadow is someone she could fall for – really fall for.

The last person Lucy wants to spend this night with is Ed, the guy she’s managed to avoid since punching him in the nose on the most awkward date of her life. But when Ed tells Lucy he knows where to find Shadow, the two of them are suddenly on an all-night search to places where Shadow’s pieces of heartbreak and escape echo off the city walls.

And what Lucy can’t see is the one thing that’s right before her eyes.

I’ve been dying to get a copy of this one ever since is started making the rounds a few months ago, it was recently released here in the UK and I snapped up a copy for my Kindle this week.

Morning Glories Volume 3 by Nick Spencer & Joe Eisma

The critically acclaimed, smash-hit series rolls on with this collection of the blockbuster third arc, “P.E.!”

The first days were just the beginning – when the faculty cancels classes and sends the students on an outing in the nearby woods, all hell breaks loose, sending the Glories on a mysterious journey through time and space.

Nothing is what it seems to be as Academy’s hold on the kids collapses and new threats emerge!

One of my favourite comic book series since I picked up volume one on a whim last year, this collect of the 3rd arc has just been released. It arrived over the weekend and I can’t wait to start it!

Review:

Breathe by Sarah Crossan

Years after the Switch, life inside the Pod has moved on.

A poor Auxiliary class cannot afford the oxygen tax which supplies extra air for running, dancing and sports. The rich Premiums, by contrast, are healthy and strong. Anyone who opposes the regime is labelled a terrorist and ejected from the Pod to die.

Sixteen-year-old Alina is part of the secret resistance, but when a mission goes wrong she is forced to escape from the Pod. With only two days of oxygen in her tank, she too faces the terrifying prospect of death by suffocation.

Her only hope is to find the mythical Grove, a small enclave of trees protected by a hardcore band of rebels. Does it even exist, and if so, what or who are they protecting the trees from? A dystopian thriller about courage and freedom, with a love story at its heart.

I remember hearing really good things about Sarah Crossan’s previous book, The Weight of Water, so when I was offered Breathe the first book in her new dystopian trilogy, I immediately accepted!
